Pennsylvania man arrested for DUI near Holts Landing
OCEAN VIEW (Sept. 6, 2011) – DNREC Division of Fish and Wildlife Enforcement marine patrol agents responding to an incident at Holts Landing on Sept. 4 arrested a Pennsylvania man on charges including resisting arrest, DUI and multiple traffic charges with assistance from the Delaware State Park Rangers, Ocean View and Bethany Beach police departments and the Delaware State Police.
When Fish and Wildlife agents and Park rangers arrived at the Holts Landing boat ramp, a pontoon boat was being trailered. The Chevrolet Trailblazer towing the boat drove away, struck a parked vehicle on Whites Neck Road causing the boat trailer to flip and continued a distance down the road dragging the upside down boat before stopping.

Willis was arraigned in Justice of the Peace Court No. 3 in Georgetown and committed to Sussex Correctional Institute in Georgetown in lieu of $5,000 cash bond.
